It may not be much of a secret, but Wesson (Miss.) Copiah-Lincoln DL Nick Fairley is going to keep it, at least for a little while longer.

Just give him a few days, though. That's all he wants. All he needs.

Fairley, expected to be one of the top JUCO d-linemen in the country this fall, will formally announce next week his plans to sign with a Division I school in February.

The now-6-foot-4, 285-pounder originally signed with Auburn in 2007 out of Williamson High School in Mobile. He'll likely do the same again this time around, but won't officially announce it until he's ready.

Stay tuned to AuburnSports.com for the day and time of Fairley's announcement, as well as full coverage of the event.
